“من منم، و تو توتویی؛ اما نهایتا من و تو باید در کنار هم باشیم، باهم راه برویم، باهم سفر کنیم، باهم بر سر یک سفره بنشینیم، با هم بازی کنیم، با بخندیم، بدویم، و فریاد بکشیم، با هم بسازیم، با هم آباد کنیم، و جهان را باهم، دست به دست هم، دوش به دوش هم، سرشار از شادمانی و نشاط کنیم.”

“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

“If I were a tree among trees, a cat among animals, this life would have a meaning or rather this problem would not arise, for I should belong to this world. I should be this world to which I am opposed by my whole consciousness and my whole insistence upon familiarity. This ridiculous reason is what sets me in opposition to all creation. I cannot cross it out with a stroke of the pen”

“My soul bleeds and the blood steadily, silently, disturbingly slowly, swallows me whole.”

“Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!
Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.
Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.
Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp;
I alone am dull.
Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.
I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.”
― Tao Te Ching
